is finally getting to the bottom of the internet’s obsession with his “Elvis voice.” Over the weekend, ET spoke with the 30-year-old actor, who plays the King of Rock and Roll in the upcoming Baz Luhrmann-biopic“At this point, I keep asking people, ‘Is this my voice?’ because this feels like my real … it’s one of those things where certain things trigger it and other times as well it’s, I don’t know,” Butler told ET’s Nischelle Turner.
“The thing with him is they weren’t moves, they were coming out of the feel of the music,” he shared. “So, for me, it had to be about finding the feeling of the music, moving me in that way. That was really fun. It was liberating.” “There’s so many things out there that have become these caricatures, so even talking about him curling his lip, it’s something he didn’t do as much as we think he did,” Butler noted. “He’d do it for a photo.”
Butler was well aware that he had big blue suede shoes to fill when taking on the role, which had him, well, all shook up. “What made me nervous was, Elvis was so loved and so iconic, you feel responsibility playing any human that has actually lived, but with him it’s like, it’s a weight like I never felt before,” he said.
